On Sunday January 27th, the RAF was proud to honor two very special arts groups, Ridgewood Friends of Music and Mack Brandon and the Connection. Both Honorees gave spirited performances and relayed information about their mission during the festive reception and awards ceremony at Park West Loft. Village officials, cultural groups in town, and art loving residents were on hand to celebrate these local treasures and to enjoy an evening of unique visual and performing arts experiences.

Instruments from the Ridgewood community, including drums and a keyboard, were donated to the Rosa Parks High School in Paterson to help replace those lost to mold due to the very wet summer. RAF partnered with Friends of Music to locate the instruments after Ridgewood resident and high school music teacher Nancy Horowitz reported that their band instruments were damaged.

Ridgewood Baseball & Softball Association (RBSA) is excited to have the Ridgewood Arts Foundation as a team sponsor for their 2018 season. Members of the Ridgewood Arts Foundation look forward to supporting their team at games and to hosting the annual pizza party for their players. It's a great show of alliance between Ridgewood arts and Ridgewood sports!! For RBSA game schedule, click HERE.
